I just bought a E30 M3 shift lever for my '87 325iS, and when i shift into reverse, it slightly rubs against the drive shaft, and when i really throw the shifter into reverse, you can feel the shifter grinding against the driveshaft, how do i get rid of this?, should I get new shift bushings?
P.S.
where are some good jack up points for the car?...I've been having a hard time finding a good jack point
thanks
Jon

I haven't seen your car so take this with a grain of salt. It is OK to bend the linkage rod which is what probably is rubbing on your d/s.

As for jacking, for front under the frame rails. Rear, either the rear subframe or else at the edges where the factory jacking points are. I don't like jacking up at the differential but some people do it.
